Your comic book store may be shaking this week! Two titanic talents team up for a clash of titans in Asgard! Legendary Thor writer/artist Walter Simonson joins Mark Waid in this week’s Indestructible Hulk #6 guest starring Thor.
In Marvel’s The Avengers Hulk famously sneaked in a sucker punch on the Odinson. Expect a rematch between the Green Goliath and God of Thunder in this upcoming Indestructible Hulk arc.
Mark Waid told Marvel.com how the first arc leads into the second and Banner’s mission:
“Bruce Banner learned a lot about his new crew of assistants; as he points out, their common denominator is that they all have a big secret in their lives—a “hidden self,” if you will –and the secret one of them is harboring is what makes the mission to Jotunheim, land of the Frost Giants, a priority for Bruce.
On the face of it, Banner claims that he’s taking his crew to Jotunheim in search of a specific element that exists only at Frost Giant temperatures. But Bruce has a hidden motive, as well. The real fun of it is how Bruce and his team get to Jotunheim in the first place; it’s a nifty piece of applied science, if I do say so myself.”
Banner reports to Maria Hill now so obviously SHIELD has an interest in the journey to Asgard.
“S.H.I.E.L.D.’s buying in to Bruce’s search for the Frost Giant metal—the scientific applications are myriad—but it’s one of Bruce’s assistants who has the most to lose or gain, and you’ll be surprised at the who and the why.
